CAS seeks to explore the critical issues of our time curating from a diverse range of artists across the spectrum of age, race and gender identity. Often focusing on contemporary art relating to immigrant artists or those identifying with diasporic or oppressed communities, CAS sees art as a tool for empowerment, for promoting equity, and establishing access to resources and perspectives withheld from minority communities.
